Argumentative Analysis

Australian multi-millionaire and property mogul Tim Gurner made a controversial claim on the Australian television show 60 Minutes, that purchasing avocado toast may be one of the reasons why millennials cannot afford a house.

In the article, Linguistic demands of the oral directions for administering the WISC-IV and WISC-V, the authors explain that studies say the linguistic capacity of children should be considered when choosing and interpreting cognitive tests. Students in Canada are being tested using the WISC-IV and WISC-V, when many of them are not proficient in English. A study was conducted to determine if the WISC-IV and WISC-V linguistic factors were affecting the overall performance on the test. The test makers claimed that the WISC-V comes with reduced vocabulary and simplified directions, but it was unseen by the administers. Although Pearson claims to have these modifications, the Cultural-Language Interpretive Matrix (C-LIM) was created to decide if

In arguing that anti-Confederate southerners played a central role in Confederate defeat, Freehling shifts historical debate to ground that is at once familiar and novel. Historians such as Drew Gilpin Faust and Paul Escott have identified internal disaffection as the primary cause of Confederate defeat while Gary Gallagher has suggested that whites in the Confederacy maintained their support for the government even as military losses ended the war.[1] The South vs. the South expands the scope of inquiry, looking beyond internal fissures within the Confederacy to the divisions in broader southern society. In Freehling's telling, anti-Confederate whites undermined the Confederacy by remaining outside the nation while slaves sapped Confederate

Mr Campbell Newman was a popular lord mayor as a member of the Liberal Party, who served the Queensland government for three years from 2012 – 2015 (Lewis, 2015). In the recent 2015 Queensland state election, Newman was heavily punished by the public voters of Queensland as a result of treating the public servants unfairly by cutting jobs in contrast to his promises. He also claimed that there would be no forced redundancies and that he would try to lower the unemployment rate, yet these promises were never met. In support of this, the following essay argues that Campbell Newman didn’t interfere with the free market economy of Queensland, which can be beneficial for consumers in many ways because there is no government intervention. Instead,

My argument is about a family show on television called “The Fosters,” people assume this tv show is not appropriate for all ages.

Treason is a political crime committed against a state or government to which the person charged with treason owes a duty of allegiance. The dictionary defines treason as a violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of ones country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. The men signing the declaration of independence were aware of the risk they ran of committing treason against the British king. The value that defense remained to be determined in a civil war. In civil wars, every man chooses his party, but generally that side with prevails arrogates the right of treating those who are vanquished as rebels. In the weeks preceding the Declaration of Independence,

Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first

Within the last couple of decades, technology has become a huge part in everyone’s daily lives. Everyday we look at our phone almost every five minutes and when we get home we all hop on some other form of technology such as our computers or televisions. However, this is almost exactly what Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman fear. There are some truths and some falsehoods to the statements that Postman proposed such as the idea that we will begin to enjoy our oppression, we will be ruled by the very things that we love, and that we will eventually be thrown so many lies that we will seize to know what the truth is and we will be exploring both sides of these assertions.

During the "Get tough" era and the "war on Drugs" era of the late 1970's through the early 1990's, the rise of women offenders that were incarcerated was nothing short of meteoric. In 1979, one in 10 women in prison was doing time for drugs. Today, drug offenders account for more than a third of the female prison population (37.4 percent).( Chesney-Lind 1998) Therefore, the population of women being convicted of these crimes are women who would not have been incarcerated anyway (Dr. Wendy Williams personal communication 2018).

Lindeen takes the perspective of gun control away from the people. He says the regulation of gun control does not need to be through gun control itself, but through the actions leading to the gun control. Lindeen states in his paper “ sloganeers make the concept of gun control or no control an easy thing to grasp and causes easy thoughts” (1659-1660). He looks at both interpretations of gun control and states there are other ways to help control violence then just taking away guns. According to him one of the problems is people do not know much about the data or the statistics. People only go with the facts they grew up with. People tend to not go on the computer and look up statistics about guns and deaths by guns. He also states the information

My son has started applying to colleges and would appreciate if you can provide a short letter of recommendation for him on a google lettehead.

Would you or someone you care bout want to die a slow painful death. Well I would hope not. There are many harmful chemicals such as nicotine which is a highly addictive drug in cigarettes. As soon as you stick the cigarette in your mouth you have nicotine in your system and it can reach the brain in under 6 seconds and cause brain damage.

MSTT spoke with Christine and Jake on the phone because Jake had just returned home from Valley Youth House and they had begun to get into a verbal altercation.

Although the principles at a higher and prestigious college such as Cornell may appear to hold different values, the fundamental morals of academic integrity remains the same across America. To explain, the criteria for forging one´s work is still the same as students who forge another´s signatures for documents such as report cards. Similarly, in Cornell, forging another´s signature for similar causes or to signify the a class completed is also prohibited. Also, the Tech students are also given the opportunity ¨to appeal¨ to the principal if feelings of injustice is expressed by the student. Likewise in Cornell, a convicted student may appeal to the Hearing Board if the individual is not satisfied. However, the discipline is where the two

Supporters argue that U.S. law gives both legal and illegal immigrants basically the same constitutional protections as U.S. citizens. The vast majority of rights in our constitution apply to “all persons” and just a handful apply to only citizens. Non-citizens do not have the right to habeas corpus, which is the right to a judge or attorney. Those in favor of rights for non-citizens turn to the fourteenth amendment. Supporters agree that persons citizens and noncitizens should be granted basic equal rights according to our constitution.
